Michael Hittleman Gallery

Jan Rauchwerger, b. 1942. Ukrainian born Jan Rauchwerger is one of the finest artists ever to work in Israel. He is now an internationally recognized master. Following a major retrospective at the Israel Museum in 2004, he is having another retrospective in Moscow. While some of his works are reminiscent of Bonnard, he is his own master. Concentrating on the everyday of housescapes and interiors, nudes, still lifes, and domestic animals, he brings a phenomenal sense of color and a sensitivity to every nuance of subject. At first glance, his works seem simple, accessible and non-provocative. After repeated viewings the depth, complexity, and intensity of his vision are revealed. Each of his paintings serves as material for self-analysis and a deeper understanding of universal questions.
